That error means you have a problem in your config.php file, either a blank space or line at the beginning of the file or it was not saved correctly as a text file.

// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.

// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.

// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.

// New versions of MySQL (4.1+) have introduced some behaviors that are

// ******** FULL PATH TO FORUMS DIRECTORY ******
// On a few systems it may be necessary to input the full path to your forums directory
// for vBulletin to function normally. You can ignore this setting unless vBulletin
// tells you to fill this in. Do not include a trailing slash!
// Example Unix:

// Here you can configure different methods for caching datastore items.

// than one set of forums installed on your host, you *may* need to use a prefix
// so that they do not try to use the same variable within the cache.
// This works in a similar manner to the database table prefix.

*/

// ****** The following options are only needed in special cases ******

// ****** MySQLI OPTIONS *****
// When using MySQL 4.1+, MySQLi should be used to connect to the database.
// If you need to set the default connection charset because your database
// is using a charset other than latin1, you can set the charset here.
// If you don't set the charset to be the same as your database, you
// may receive collation errors. Ignore this setting unless you
// are sure you need to use it.
// $config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8';

// Optionally, PHP can be instructed to set connection parameters by reading from the
// file named in 'ini_file'. Please use a full path to the file.
// Example:
// $config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = 'c:\program files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini';
$config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = '';

// Image Processing Options
// Images that exceed either dimension below will not be resized by vBulletin. If you need to resize larger images, alter these settings.
